Reported last week that the Roosevelt Island Historical Society (RIHS) is giving you the opportunity to own the old Red and White Roosevelt Island signs

… Remember the red and white signs over the Eastwood stores? They are being replaced by a new look.

The sign can be yours!! Contact us at the RIHS and you can own an 11 foot long metal sign. We ask for a donation to the RIHS to help us continue preserving the island history….

RIHS President Judy Berdy reports that a few of the signs are still available but you need to act fast if you want one:

OWN A PIECE OF ISLAND HISTORY!!!!

Last call for the following signs:

Some of the Eastwood signs were taken by the Riverwalk Bar & Grill as well as a 35 year Rivercross resident taking the signs for 510 and 560 Main Street for safe keeping by his children. Here’s a sign for 552 still available. Contact the RIHS now for your piece of Roosevelt Island history.
